One-Step Steam Pyrolysis Preparation and Characterization of Spherical Carbon Adsorbents Obtained from Ion-Exchange Resins

Using the single-set steam pyrolysis of Dowex 50 WX-2 (a polystyrene–divinylbenzene resin), Spherical Carbon Adsorbents (SCAs) were prepared. The porous structure of the materials obtained was easily controlled by varying the heating rate, allowing carbons having a controlled ratio of micropores to...
